Pros

Good opportunity, and wide range of technical fields. Benefits are normal for the engineering field, but not above average.

Cons

Pay seems to be lower then average for mid-level and below with your experience being entirely dependent on your career manager and senior manager. Favoritism seems to be an issue.
